CHAROSES

   OED has 1885 for "charoseth," another part of the Passover table.


   27 January 1878, NEW YORK TIMES, pg. 8:

The _choroses_, being prepared in the form of a paste or preserve, is symbolical of the mortar which was used by the Israelites in building the treasure cities for Pharaoh...

   18 April 1878, BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, pg. 2:
   Near this dish is placed a saucer of vinegar or some salt and water, and there is also another dish containing a mixture of almonds, apples, nuts, figs and spices, formed into the consistency of a paste or preserve and known by the name of "choroses."
